30,592/50,000 is higher than I thought I'd get. This is fun! One of the photos was someone holding a phone with Timeguessr on it. Still managed to get the date wrong - it was taken in 2024.

Why does this guy owe anything to the world? This comment drips with entitlement.

Not really. Please don't flagrantly disregard the author. That tone solves nothing.

That isn't what I was claiming. I was drawing attention to it being super early on in an ecosystem, in an industry where lots of the "package manager best practices" are now formed based on Node's small-package qualms.

Maintainer of a few top-10 npm packages here. This makes complete sense. Somewhere along the way NPM stopped being cooperative with the community. It cemented itself with the Microsoft acquisition, but was obvious quite a bit before that. T

I think you misread my comment. The worry that turtles were having widespread injuries due to plastic straws was overstated. It started with a viral video. There's no evidence that was anything other than a freak accident. That's

> I mentioned that my first system (TRS-80) had 4k to someone and they expressed surprise at that you could get a monitor that good back then. Admittedly didn't register with me at first but this is hilarious.

On the flip side, I wanted to see what common 8 layer PCB stackups were yesterday. ChatGPT wasn't giving me an answer that really made sense. After googling a bit, I realized almost all of the top results were AI generated, and also ha

From TFA it says it's only about 3x as expensive as normal paper packaging, just needs a factory. Implies that at least some people believe it's viable.

The "harming turtles" thing was wildly overstated, to start. Also, ideally not, because the turtles that were claimed to be affected are in the ocean, where the straws degraded in just a few months.

I'll take slightly annoying plastic straw over millions of particles of plastic poisoning me, any day of the week.

The Ocean Cleanup is probably the most impressive and inspiring humanitarian / climate endeavor around right now. Been following them for a long time, their PR is really good. Actually showing the places before and after, showing the t

US sites that service European users must adhere to GDPR themselves, or block access. Those are the rules. If OpenAI is adhering to a US court order that violated the GDPR for European users that's going to cause a huge uproar.

Maybe this is in TFA but I can't see it, does this affect European users? Are they only logging everything in the US?

Amazing. Cockatoos really are gangsters.

Side note, why is almost every comment that contains the word "shill" so pompous and aggressive?

The free market arguably hasn't worked like that in ages.

Caiques and Blue Hyacinths are definitely more pranksters, Cockatoos are just plain psychos.

AI generated article, seems like. Also, I wouldn't argue signals are modern. They're kind of a hack, and have had endless problems and footguns over the years. Programming with them is difficult more often than it is easy (I think

It depends on the way you read it. Nuclear bombs cause bloodshed. The blood might be vaporized, cooked, or irradiated - but still shed. I don't think that's what OP meant; rather I read it literally, to mean one day there might ac

Could be, yes. Mice have it real bad in labs. Many people have commented over the years about not being able to pursue their careers doing lab work because of all the abuse on mice. One of those uncomfortable realities we live in; the mice
